Foreword

It's an honor to introduce the work of Lei Gao, whose dedication to the art and craft of photography has made a remarkable body of work. Taking us on a journey with her family when they moved to New Zealand. She tells a wonder story that resonates on both an emotional and artistic level. She transports the viewer into the heart of Aotearoa and demonstrates why it is such a beautiful place to live and raise a young family. Lei Gao has documented her journey and experiences and shown the serenity and beauty of the land she now calls home.

I invite you to explore the lovely scenes that will evoke awe and wonderment as we admire both her words and work.

Thank you, Lei Gao, for sharing your vision with us all.
